Stephen Harper laid into Paul Martin on Thursday for not distancing himself from remarks make by labour leader Buzz Hargrove encouraging Quebecers to vote for the Bloc Québécois.

"It is absolutely unacceptable in any way shape or form to suggest that people should vote for the breakup of the country so the Liberals can stay in power," Harper said at a campaign stop in Ancaster, Ont.

MICHAEL McCAFFERTY comments:

Paul Martin is a political coward. He has said nothing to disassociate himself from labor leader Buzz Hargrove who has urged Quebecers to vote for the separatist Bloc Quevecois.

If Mr. Martn is truly a genuine federalist he should take exception to what Mr. Hargrove has said. Hargrove's encouragement of the separatists is not pro-Canadian.
